My boot drive these days unfortunately is firmly installed in a special heat and noise cage and not easily exchangable. My backup drives are external (SATA). It is eaysy to change the boot sequence of my mainbord in its BIOS. But if I simply restore the backup file of my C-drive to one of my backup boot drives (I have to do it with a hand made PE-XP-boot CD as the official Acronis boot cd does not recognize the SATA drive) and boot from this the drives letters are mixed up. The old boot drives still is "C" the new boot partition gets "J" for instance. And I get a lot of complaints from windows that nothing can be found at the t place anymore.
What did I do wrong, what do I have to do to get any backup drive booting from a "C"-partition as if it where in a drivebay with exchangable drives (as I had it in PATA days, where everything worked fine of course)?
